[HECnet] Modest proposal: Media library

[Sampsa Laine]

I copied them all, can not be bothered distinguishing between the ones licensed for hobbyist use and not.

I happen to have a PAK generator that works, if one wanted to play around with a package or two...

Are you doing it as individual software packages?   That is how it would be
the most bandwidth friendly.   Also only copy the software packages supported
by the Hobbyist Licenses.   What SPL's?

I thought it might be useful to set up a library of VMS media kits (and
maybe RSX / RSTS etc as well) - basically images of VMS install CDs,
layered products etc, all in one convenient location.
Seems like a great idea.   Looks like VAX SPL CDs run 2-3 GB gzipped,
closer to 6 GB uncompressed.   One Alpha SPL looks to be about 4 GB
compressed.
